Noise Gate: how to avoid first word to be cutted

[Antonio_Gallo]

Is there a way to avoid that the noise gate cut the first word after some seconds of silence?
I’ve tried with “attack: 0ms” but still can feel the issue.
Thanks.

Attack is now long it takes to close the gate when the audio level is below the threshold.
Hold is the minimum time the gate is closed, before it can open again.
Decay is the time it takes to go from closed to open after the audio level goes above the threshhold.

So if the start of speaking is affected, it is properly the hold or decay there is the cause.

Thanks! I was doing the vice-versa then
